Agree, the larger the camera the more apt to be questioned.
Also the content...put courthouse on that list of where not to film.
Chinese police officers try to block a journalist from filming the scene around the
courthouse in Beijing Wednesday, June 20, 2012. Chinese police on Wednesday barred
outspoken artist Ai Weiwei from attending the first hearing of a lawsuit brought by his company
against Beijing tax authorities and blocked reporters from filming at the courthouse, part of an
intimidation campaign aimed at silencing the prominent artist and outspoken government critic. (AP Photo/Andy Wong)
